Kan en samhällskontakt hjälpa personer och deras närstående – drabbade av allvarlig sjukdom, stress, ensamhet – som behöver mer stöd att hantera vardagen? Ja, det vill Dröfn Birgisdóttir undersöka i forskningsprojektet “Tillsammans”. Sjukvården är hårt belastad och samtidigt finns det resurser i samhället som skulle kunna stötta upp och tas till vara. Det menar forskaren Dröfn Birgisdóttir och hen

En blodmarkör som ännu inte används i hjärtstoppsvården kan ge en tydligare bild av hur stora hjärnskadorna är efter ett hjärtstopp. Det visar en stor internationell multicenterstudie ledd av forskare vid Lunds universitet som publiceras i The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. I Sverige drabbas årligen ungefär 6 000 personer av hjärtstopp utanför sjukhusvården. – Det här kommer ändra vården av dessa pa

Att äta ost och grädde med hög fetthalt kan ha ett samband med en lägre risk för att utveckla demens. Det visar en ny stor studie vid Lunds universitet. Forskarna analyserade kostvanor hos drygt 27 000 personer och kopplade dessa till förekomsten av demens under en uppföljningstid på upp till 25 år. Debatten om fettsnåla dieter har länge format våra hälsoråd och påverkat hur vi ser på mat och häls

Forskning vid Lunds universitet visar att de biologiska föräldrarnas gener påverkar barnets insulinfunktion samt förmågor att reglera blodsockernivåer och blodfetter på olika sätt. Med hjälp av sådan kunskap kan det bli möjligt att utveckla förebyggande behandlingar som minskar barnets risk att utveckla typ 2-diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdom. Tidigare forskning av diabetesforskaren Rashmi Prasad har

Genom att skapa ett konstgjort åldrande hos möss, har lundaforskare kunnat följa hur aneurysm – pulsåderbråck – utvecklas i blodkärlens väggar. Ett resultat i studien, som nu publicerats i Journal of Biological Chemistry, överraskade forskarna: mössen skyddades samtidigt mot högt blodtryck genom att en annan signalväg aktiverades i kärlväggens celler - och kompenserade för belastningen i de åldran

It was not an entirely uncontroversial decision to gather cancer researchers in the abandoned AstraZeneca premises ten years ago. Carl Borrebaeck was pro vice-chancellor at the time and pushed for the move which in itself cost SEK 50 million in central university funds. “I was not very popular with the deans at that time,” he says. “But now it turns out that Medicon Village is a great success and
